He aupuni nui, e kau ana i lalo e like me kahawai. ʻO ia ka wahi e hui ai nā mea a pau o ka lani, ʻo ia ka wahine o ka honua. ʻO ka wahine mau loa ia e lanakila ai i ke kāne ma ka noho malie, ma ka noho haʻahaʻa. No laila, inā e noho haʻahaʻa kekahi aupuni nui i mua o kahi aupuni iki, a laila, e loaʻa iā ia ua aupuni iki lā. A inā e noho haʻahaʻa kahi aupuni iki i mua o kahi aupuni nui, a laila, e loaʻa iā ia ua aupuni nui lā. No laila, ʻo kekahi e noho haʻahaʻa a loaʻa, a ʻo kekahi e noho haʻahaʻa a e loaʻa. ʻAʻole kahi aupuni nui e makemake nui aku, akā e mare a hoʻomalu i nā poʻe. ʻAʻole kahi aupuni iki e makemake nui aku, akā e komo a lawelawe i nā poʻe. Inā ua loaʻa iā lāua nei kēlā me kēia kā lāua i makemake ai, a pono ka mea nui ke noho haʻahaʻa.

Pehea ka pilina iaʻu?
Pili nui kēia i koʻu noho ʻana ma ka ʻohana a me ka hana. Inā e ʻimi wau e kū ʻana ma luna a ʻaʻole e noho haʻahaʻa, a laila e ʻāheʻe ka maikaʻi. Akā, inā e noho haʻahaʻa wau a e hoʻolohe i nā mea ʻē aʻe, a laila e hiki iaʻu ke hoʻoponopono maikaʻi a e loaʻa ka manaʻo ʻoiaʻiʻo. Pēlā nō, e hoʻoponopono ʻia nā pilikia a e hoʻomaha ka naʻau.
What makes a great state is its being (like) a low-lying, down-flowing (stream); it becomes the centre to which tend (all the small states) under heaven. (To illustrate from) the case of all females: the female always overcomes the male by her stillness.
